Proverb of the Day
Ní dheineann teanga ina cónaí aighneas.
A tongue at rest makes no arguments.
Explanation:
English "Silence is golden".
If you hold your tongue, you won't start a fight. The most frequent use of "cónaí" in modern Irish is "to live (in a certain place)", although it also has this other meaning of "to remain still, to not move".
